A Mysterious Society Man.

A Boston man writes from Paris to a
friend: You know, Of course, the exceedingly
breezy volumes Of descriptions Of society in
the European capitals, written by a certain
mysterious and exceedingly outspolien Count
Paul Vasili, that have appeared Well, |
have found out the identity Of this mystcri-
Gus Count Paul 1t is none other than
Nine. Juliette Adam, the versatile and vi.
vacious directress Of The NouvelIe Revue,
whose salon is the center of all literary Paris.
She has been absent a good deal of late, and
well, when a Partisan editor wrote to ask
Nine. for an article the other day, she mad
vertently sent him an unpublished manu-
script Of Count Paul Vasili The editor
charged her at once with being the man
whom all Europe was speculating about, and
she sent him an answer which lodges with

THE DOG TAN.
Let the Law be RigidIy Enforced.

A TINES representative yesterday at
10 o'clock paid his dog tax of one dollar
at the City Hall. He had to go to two Of
ficers to do this, and secured medal No
1850, showing that one thousand four hun
dred and forty-nine other law abiding
citizens had done likewise. There is but
little doubt but what it would have been
filthy lucre in his pocket to have sent the
dog to sausage factory, or let the dog
catchers taken him out of the wet, but as
he had been raised pet, his imperfec-
tons were passed by and ne was dealt
gently with
Now the question is, does this 1850 rep
resent one tenth of the dogs in Rich
mOnd. There must be nearly that num-
Der in Clay, ward, and a large proportion
of them on the block resided on by the
writer Every night they make the world
tiresome with their yelping, barking, and
scratching.
1t is hoped that the police will bestir
themselves and have the dog law rigidly
enforced. Every one who pays the dog
tax has a right to keep a dog, but no one
has the right to keep pestilential, I'M
taxed cur to worry the life out of his
Having fortified himself with
a brass medal and a tax receipt, this re-
porter is unhesitatingly in favor of the
rigid enforcement of this tax against any
and all offenders.

Treatment OF Welcoming Courh.

The following method Of disinfection Of
sleeping and dwelling apartments and clothes
is recommended bS VI. Mohn in the treat
ment Of whooping cough. 1t is sand to cure
the cases Immediately. The children are
washed and clothed in clean articles Of dress
and removed to another part of the town.
The bed room and sitting room or nursery are
then hermctically sealed, all the bedding,
playthings and other articles that cannot be
washed are exposed freely in the room, in
which sulphur is burned in the proportion Of
twenty-five grams TO the cubic meter Of
space. The room remains thus charged with
sulphurous acid for five hours, and is then
freely ventilated. The children return the
same day, and may sleep and play in the dis
infected rooms.-Lancet

The Manchester Streets.

The question has been asked TIMES
reporter as to whether it is proper TO
speak of the east and west side of Hull
street, Manchester, or the north and
south side. Hull street runs north and
south, and of course it has east and west
sides-as do all other streets running par
allel with it.
In Manchester the streets with names
run as do the numbered streets of Rich
mond, from north 10 south. Manches-
ters numbered streets run as do our
named ones, from east to west. In Man
chester, therefore, it is proper to say on
the north or south side of Seventh street
and the east or west side of Hull or De-
Catur street, &c.

represent the Richmond musicians at the
meeting of the National League. Mr..
Laube was on several important commit
tees. Much business of interest and i'm

the delegates to the League were the re-
cipients of much attention and many
cOurtesies. Mr. Laube is a gallant man,
and speaks in the highest terms of the
hospitality and friendship of the men
and of the beauty and sweetness of the
ladies, with never a mention of their feet

"a Midnight Marriage"


In "A Midnight Marriage" at the The
atre last night Mrs. Barry and Mr. Red
mund again justified their claim as artists
of unquestioned merit. The play was
placed upon the stage in elegant style
and was throughout an example and a
model of elegant acting. II is regretted
that both the Lenlen season and great
local attractions on both OF the nights oil
the engagement prevented the patronage
from being as large as it should. Critical
and cultivated audiences, however, testi-
fled their appreciation OF their efforts by
liberal applause.
Mrs. Barry and Mr. Redmund belong
/ to a school of artists who do not de-
pend upon personal attractions, stage
clap trap, horse play, or any sinister
methods, but are legitimate actors of the
greatest ability, ard deserve the greatest
success.
For the Walker Light Guard.
The lights at Mozart Academy last
night shone down on large and beauti-
full audience. The friends of the Walker
Light Guard rallied in force and their
benefit was a bumper. The audience
was heartily sympathetic, the programme
varied and well executed and all the ia
vorites were on hand. The show was an
immense success, and the applause was
liberal and well deserved.
Among those who contributed 20 make
it an evening of innocent enjoyment
were Messrs. Myers, Joyce, Leftwich,
Sweeney, Starke, Cunningham, Thomas,
Crump, Malone, Tyson, Bachrach, Mean
ley, Francisco, and Darlington. When
all so well acted their parts special men
ton would be out of place All of our
boys covered themselves with lamp black,
burnt cork, and glory.
